Construction Accidents
Construction sites expose workers and the public to falls from height, struck-by incidents, crushing injuries, electrocution, and fires. Washington’s workplace safety system, including the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act, recognizes the need for enforceable safety standards. Even with rules in place, serious injuries and death claims still occur when safety is treated as optional.
Horne & Stone LLP handles construction accident litigation throughout all of Washington state. Mr. Horne and Ms. Stone represent injured people against wrongdoers who cause injuries and the insurance companies who help them get away with it. Many construction incidents involve third-party responsibility beyond workers’ compensation, such as negligence by a general contractor, subcontractor, property owner, equipment provider, or product manufacturer.
Our hands-on approach helps you handle construction accident claims with ease
Serious injury outcomes can include traumatic brain injury, spinal trauma, multiple fractures, severe lacerations, amputations, and severe burns. Washington public health reporting recognizes traumatic brain injury as a major cause of death and hospitalization. In serious injuries and death claims, strong cases are built by preserving the site condition evidence, obtaining safety plans and incident reports, identifying witnesses early, and evaluating whether safety rules were ignored.
Construction defendants often include large corporate entities with established defense teams and insurer resources. Horne & Stone LLP is prepared for that fight. Mr. Horne and Ms. Stone sue the largest companies in the world. The bigger the better. If your construction injury has caused permanent harm, the firm is ready to pursue serious injuries and death claims that reflect what you have endured and what you will need going forward.
